National Public Relations buys Madano

The Canadian-based company said the acquisition was part of a growth strategy and that it would “significantly grow” National’s footprint in the UK and Europe.

National is already represented internationally by healthcare consultancy Axon Communications and the addition of Madano to the firm will extend the services that both National and Axon can provide internationally.

Andy Eymond, founding partner, Madano said: “Having access to international specialists in areas such as energy, infrastructure, professional services and health will provide a real competitive advantage to us. Moreover, we are delighted to be part of a group that has a great track record of building and nurturing communications businesses.”
